No Bake Cheesecake with Homemade Raspberry Sauce Recipe
Serves 7-10
Ingredients
Crust
4 C. Graham Crackers, (about 2 1/2 – 3 packs), crushed (I like Honey Maid Brand, NOT Keebler)
4 Tablespoons Powdered Sugar
1 Cup Melted Butter
Crush the Graham Crackers in a food processor, add Powdered Sugar, and drizzle in Melt Butter and pulse together. Spread into 9×13 pan or 9 inch spring form cake pan using the bottom of a glass to keep in smooth and not too thick.
Filling
2 8 oz cream cheese packages, at room temperature
2 cups Powdered Sugar
2 tsps Vanilla (I love to use Vanilla Bean Paste (affiliate), always my secret ingredient!)
5 Tablespoons Milk
1 1/2 Tablespoons Fresh Lemon Juice
Place the cream cheese in a stand mixer bowl with the paddle attachment. Mix the cream cheese until smooth for about a minute or two. Slowly add the powdered sugar, then vanilla, milk and fresh lemon juice.1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
Mix heavy cream with a whisk in a standing mixture until medium to stiff peaks.Fold into Whipped Cream. Poor onto Graham Cracker Crust. Refrigerate until set, at least 3-4 hours. Serve topped with the fresh raspberry sauce and fresh raspberries.
Homemade Fresh Raspberry Sauce Recipe
3 cups (16 oz) fresh raspberries, washed
1/2 cup sugar (more or less depending on how sweet you like it)
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
In a small saucepan, smash all the raspberries together or run them through a food processor. Place raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir while it is heating up, once it starts to bubble, turn heat down to medium low and boil continue to stir for another 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat. Place in a container, and allow to completely cool, refrigerate.
Slice the cheesecake, and serve it with fresh raspberry sauce and fresh raspberries.
Enjoy!
